Hey Mister
Redfox Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Hey Mister Rainfull
What you doin' on that cloud?
Painting tears on windowpanes
As if everything's alright
On a mission
To wash all worries off your hands
Though the ink was made to stain
And is everything alright?

I can't see you past this rainbow mood
In a grey washed room
I must be stuck in the mirror

Hey Mister Strongman
What you doin' on the ground?
Holding worlds above your head
As if everything's alright
Your body's shakin'
Under the weight of all their pain
Was it worth it in the end?

And is everything alright?
And is everything alright?

I can't see you past this rainbow mood
In a grey washed room
I must be stuck in the mirror

As if everything's alright
I can't see you past this rainbow mood
In a grey washed room
And I must be stuck in the mirror

Is everythin' alright?
I can't see you past this rainbow mood




In a grey washed room
And I must be stuck in the mirror

Overall Meaning

The song "Hey Mister" by Redfox is a poignant reflection on the human condition and the ways that we deal with our pain and struggles. The lyrics address two different characters - the rain and the strongman - and question their actions and motivations in the face of adversity. The first verse begins with the line, "Hey Mister Rainfall, what you doin' on that cloud?" and the metaphor of raindrops as tears is continued throughout the stanza. The rain is described as being on a mission to wash away worries, but the ink is made to stain, suggesting that struggles and difficulties cannot simply be washed away. The chorus repeats the line, "I can't see you past this rainbow mood in a grey washed room," indicating a sense of feeling trapped or stuck in a situation that is seemingly unchanging.


The second verse shifts to the image of a strongman holding worlds above his head, yet still struggling under the weight of pain. The questioning tone implies that the sacrifices made for others and the pain endured may not have been worth it in the end. The chorus repeats once again, reinforcing the feeling of being stuck in a difficult situation.


Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of searching for understanding and meaning in the face of adversity. The two characters embody different approaches to handling pain and difficulties, and the song seems to suggest that there may be no easy answers or solutions. The repeated chorus line emphasizes the feeling of being trapped or unable to move beyond a difficult situation.
